Episode notes

Welcome back to 'It's All Kicking Off!' 


Chris returns from New York, Ian explains the rules to his new game 'rock, paper, scissors stone gun' and Dwight Gayle and Steve Bruce exchange a war of words - there really is a lot to unpack in this episode. 


There's also chat about Thomas Tuchel's criticism of his star players, with Ian questioning how clever it is to do this publicly, when he doesn't work with them everyday. Could it play on their mind ahead of the next international camp?


Ian defends the comments he made about Dan Burn's England debut, after Newcastle fans jumped on him on Twitter. What do you reckon, was it an underwhelming start or should we give him a break?


Presenters: Ian Ladyman and Chris Sutton

Producer: Henry Williams
